Description
Saviour of the Nation: Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and India Today is about the man and his philosophy who saved India from being lost into a dreary land of dead habits and customs. His relentless struggle against untouchability and the entire social system placed India among the newly emerging rational communities capable of facing challenges of the new world. Working in positions of authority in the British India, he initiated the process of modernization in the various walks of life, and at the same time, demonstrated the ugly face of tradition when followed blindly. He aspired for democracy with its inherent principles of liberty, equality, social justice and brotherhood, and incorporated them into the Constitution, which, he believed, is the safest means to run the nation. This is not an academic exercise but an open thinking on the life and works of Dr. Ambedkar who continues to inspire millions of people across the world. His position in India today is like that of a lighthouse offering guidelines to the nation to follow a right course of action. The book, therefore, holds mirror to contemporary Indian reality.
